I am going to my first FNS. I have no doubt I will finish anywhere near the the top, but I will have fun.

You have to start somewhere. Make each shot count.

This. Hitting the plates consistently is more important than trying to be fast.

Good luck.
You WILL have fun.
And sometimes, going slower will actually make your score better.

The faster you pull the trigger, the faster your bullets hit the steels.

Well I did get smoked. And yes I did have fun. A comment I made to a RO was, Sometimes you can't miss fast enough. I will be back but I have to hit the casting setup and loading bench first

I went 2 weeks ago during the monsoon. I didn't miss, but I sure was slow at it. I really need to rely on my trigger finger on the 2nd and 3rd shots. I'm just slow pulling the trigger and going to the next target. -Jason

yes I hate to admit it but that was me. I need to get to the range more and concentrate on a good sight picture, not be fast. I could blame aging eyes, but I know that is not the case. Kinda. My glasses are set at pistol length. I cast some bullets today and will make the next FNS.

You will be surprised just how much u will improve in a cpl weeks time. I THINK nerves and the unknown jitters play a huge role in ur FIRST FNS abilities. The trick is,, YOU HAVE TO COME BACK!!
